In response to: Ok.. so I'm talking to someone these days and we cant get past four lines of proper conversation before I get bored. I mean, he asks the same questions every single time we chat and when I try to ask him stuff.. his answers are usually quite short and general.. Not much of a conversationalist! I know everyone cant be great at that but if you are looking for that special someone online, the only thing we really have is verbal / written communication.. how in the world do you expect to attract a woman when you cant even hold her attention for more than 15 minutes?
Well sometimes people simply don´t have enough in common to maintain an interesting conversation, so it´s not fair to assume he is boring.
I´ve chatted to men who seemed very interesting....until I met them, so it works both ways.
Wall!!! Come back, ignore all those nasty comments. Some of us know you better and enjoy seeing you around.
From the OP, there isn't any concern over masculinity.
All she wants is someone who can hold an engaging conversation? Is that so hard?
You don't have to be able to lift a car, or have model good looks to be engaging.
You don't even have to be especially interesting to be engaging.
I think it comes down to awareness, and personal effort. Realize that it's more than about you. Realize that when someone asks you a question, it's very possibly because they are in fact interested in what you might have to say, other than 'uh huh' and 'yup'.
It doesn't matter if you're a sports car, or a dump truck- If you don't engage the transmission, you're not gonna get anywhere.
I could go on about all my own personal interests and accomplishments, and what might interest a woman, but that's really not the point at all. The point is that whatever your interest are, whatever your accomplishments are, share those things! Volunteer information, have a social conscience, listen to the woman who showing interest in you, and offer things you think she might enjoy, because if you don't do anything, you're not going to get anywhere!

Christmas1: Oh! is that your picture...I dare say..it's very handsome.... You look quite distinguished....what!
Thanks for the compliment, but most people are looking for the white knight to show up on his steady horse.... Bull...most of us guys are just normal men with nothing special about us. I get up in the morning and face whatever arrives. I enjoy life, but to many it probably is boring. That is okay with me. I don't live to please others. I am just looking to find another normal boring lady to share my life. Together we will generate something other than boring together.

I felt it was something like the epitome of your comment! lol
Seriously, people, men or women, rock hard abs and finesse don't amount to much other than obsession from a partner if you can't find a way to connect!
Sure, some people are infatuated enough to just sit and hear the engine roar, but if you want progress, you have got to burn some rubber!

And, are you sure it isn't you who's boring him to tears ?
